Tyler Roberson is a rising senior at Roselle Catholic High School in Roselle, N.J. The 6-foot-7, 200-pound forward burst onto the recruiting scene a year ago and he’s continued his rise up the recruiting charts.

Roberson has the strength to score inside, but he’s beginning to develop his game away from the basket. A versatile athlete, he would seem perfectly suited for playing the backline of Syracuse’s 2-3 zone defense.

He spent the early part of this summer at the LeBron James Skills Academy. He later made the all-star game at the Reebok Breakout Challenge.

“He was under the radar until last summer when he really started coming into his own. He had been an inside player until he starting expanding his game. Now, he steps out and hits threes. He’s much more versatile. He’s a combo forward now.’’
